Since 2017, Will Kirk has been stunning viewers at home as The Repair Shop's resident wood restoration expert, but how old is the master craftsman and how did he join the show?
Ever since he first barrelled onto our screens back in 2017, The Repair Shop star Will Kirk has been delighting audiences at home with his phenomenal restoration skills. Working as the show’s resident wood expert, Will has been able to masterfully restore countless treasured items back to their former glory and help to preserve precious memories and sentimental trinkets for generations to come.
In the present, Will was holding a chocolate birthday cake surrounded by cupcakes while he posted on the grass in the sunshine, meanwhile in his throwback snap, a bright eyed and much younger Will grinned from ear to ear as she blew the candles out on yet another chocolate cake, while wearing a very fetching Mickey Mouse jumper.
Following his graduation, Will travelled to Italy with the Worshipful Company of Painters and Stainers to represent the UK at the annual Salon Decorative Arts Fair and in 2012. In the very same year, he also launched his own workshop in London, William Kirk Restoration, which is still where he works to this day.
How did he join the Repair Shop? The opportunity to join the show came about unexpectedly when a chance encounter with a member of staff at the production company making the show took place during a furniture fitting.
